Summary:
The 21632 zip code area in Caroline County, Maryland is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Caroline County Public Schools district. While the schools face some challenges, such as high poverty rates and lower test scores compared to state averages, there are also examples of academic success, particularly at Colonel Richardson High School.
Federalsburg Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of minority students and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as lower test scores overall. However, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate exceeds the county and state averages. In contrast, Colonel Richardson High School has a more balanced racial makeup and its 10th-grade ELA proficiency rate is significantly higher than the county and state, despite lower math scores.
Across the schools, there is a trend of high poverty rates, with all three schools having free/reduced lunch rates above 65%. While this can be a factor in academic performance, the data shows that schools can still achieve strong results, as seen with Colonel Richardson High School's ELA proficiency. Additionally, higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better outcomes, as Federalsburg Elementary School has the highest spending but lower proficiency rates.
